Hey there, I'm Meghann, the mind behind Mindful Mushroom Nutrition & Apothecary.

I am a holistic nutritionist, health & wellness coach, and herbalist. With a bachelor's degree in Dietetics and Nutrition, plus a Masters in Applied Nutrition, specializing in Nutrition Education, my roots are in the world of health and nutrition. But my real passion lies in exploring the vibrant world of food as medicine, movement, and natural remedies.

I thrive on wholesome cooking, energizing runs, soul-nourishing hikes, and sweating it out in hot yoga. Music is everything…especially live. You’ll catch me chasing Phish all over the country. I'm all about soaking up the great outdoors, communing with nature, and sharing my space with furry friends – I'm a certified crazy cat lady and recently joined the ranks of chicken enthusiasts.

Life's too short to settle for anything less than extraordinary. I firmly believe in prioritizing health to maximize quality of life while we’re on the ride. Giving on the ability to squeeze every drop of joy out of this beautifully wild life.

My journey to holistic wellness began with a critical question: Why does mainstream healthcare often overlook individual needs? It hit home when I faced my own health struggles, battling doctors who preferred pills over understanding. Healing the symptom, but not affecting the cause.

During my conventional education, I absorbed a wealth of knowledge but found myself questioning the rigid approach of medical nutrition therapy. Why weren't we considering the unique needs of each individual? This dilemma hit home when I encountered it firsthand within the healthcare system. After losing almost half my hair (among other symptoms) and enduring a carousel of doctors pushing pharmaceutical solutions, I reached a breaking point. The doctors concluded that my body could no longer make specific hormones on its own anymore. I refused to accept the thought that my body was incapable of its natural functions. I did my research, diving deeper into the realm of holistic and natural practices and remedies. In 2016, I made a bold decision to step away from traditional healthcare and ditch my hormonal birth control for good. Despite pushback from my doctors, (They reminded me countless times about how my first attempt to quit the pill resulting in excruciating cystic acne over every inch of my face - which they tried to cover up with countless prescription creams and pills until I went back on hormonal birth control to quickly rid myself of the pain and shame I was feeling), I took control of my health journey.

By ramping up my intake of vitamins and minerals, embracing hormone-regulating plants and herbs, cutting out dairy (temporarily) and refined sugars, and eating completely clean, I witnessed a remarkable transformation. My hair regrew, my skin glowed, my energy surged, and my menstrual cycle balanced within a month. Even my once-debilitating cramps became manageable.

I took my natural healing to the thriving level by developing a nourishing hair oil to aid in my hairs regrowth which I now sell here (Herbal Hair & Lash Oil). I have created an herbal blend to further support my hormonal balance, amplify my reproductive health, and squash my PMS and cramps (Womb Wellness). My journey not only healed me but inspired me to empower others to reclaim their well-being naturally. No more band-aids over symptoms - let’s dig deep to heal the root cause from within.

Working and learning in positions centered in clinical nutrition, food and nutrition education, corporate nutrition, nutrition counseling, higher education food and nutrition, integrative health, herbalism…I've dipped my toes into various realms of wellness. My approach? Tailored care, addressing root causes, and arming you with the tools to thrive independently. And hey, while I hope to set you free to flourish, I'm always here for support on your journey.

Every product you'll find here is a labor of love, crafted by hand in small batches using organic ingredients. I stand by what I create because I use it myself. Nature has bestowed upon us all we need to flourish, and I'm here to share that bounty with you. Let's embark on this wellness journey together!
